accepting or understanding of other "skin-color-based groups", but, ironically, the exact opposite. Before it used to be that whatever blatant racism there were in European countries was contained to either to the closet racists or other village idiots who nobody took seriously. Now, thanks to the agenda-pushing by the intellectual elites of liberal bent, all the racists have come out of the woodwork and are now doing politics and by doing so have managed to gain a substantial following, which is no wonder if your layperson trying to life his life is suddenly and seemingly for no apparent reason being criticized, shamed and vilified for his "colonial past" which they had nothing to do with, consumer choices that are merely dictated by the market price, cultural heritage for "not being inclusive", and traditional norms which apparently are oppressing minorities or which aren't compatible with current year, although said traditions have grounded the peoples' lives for decades if not centuries.
So, instead of helping the down-trodden and exploited minorities by educating people out of their biases and prejudices they've instead managed to aggravate most of the laypeople, brought the racists into power, started the culture wars between the left and the right, since of course the left will respond to the seemingly racist-driven agitation of the masses, when in truth it was merely responding to the disproportionate and unreasonable demands of the neoliberals made on the common folk, liberalized the left thereby alienating the working class the interests of which they've historically always guarded and driven forward, and made "liberalism" and "democracy" curse words in these countries, which is part of the reason why we're seeing democratic backsliding in ex Communist countries in Europe.
